C-Span's BookTV will be giving Weather Underground member Bill Ayers a three hour forum to push his products - his books on Book TV next weekend.
It would seem there would be more worthy authors to highlight than William Ayers to promote.
Author Bill Ayers will be our guest for In Depth on June 7th (LIVE from the Chicago Tribune Printers Row Lit Fest, Noon-3pm ET). Professor Ayers, Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago, was a leader in the anti-war movement during the Vietnam War (Students for a Democratic Society and the Weather Underground). His books include: "The Good Preschool Teacher: Six Teachers Reflect on Their Lives" (1989), "To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher" (1993), "A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court" (1997), "Fugitive Days: A Memoir" (2001), "On the Side of the Child: Summerhill Revisited" (2003), "Teaching Toward Freedom: Moral Commitment and Ethical Action in the Classroom" (2004), and "Teaching the Personal and the Political: Essays on Hope and Justice" (2004). His latest book, co-authored with with his wife Bernardine Dohrn, is "Race Course: Against White Supremacy." Prof. Dohrn will join the discussion during the last hour of the program.
